I've been curious ever since it was released.

There are so many team to split for all the fight. Assuming each having a role, I want to split them into each fight for fun

Heretic side

Annihillio: Snow White, Matis, Absolute

Altruia: Rapunzel, Aegis, Counter, Papillon, Noah

Egovista: Scarlet, Ark Ranger, Counter, Crown Kingdom

Doro + Nayuta: Rapunzel, Pioneer Counter, Old Tales, Marian, Andersen

Heretic tranform: 4 Beast, Counter, Old Tales

Queen side

Queen: all of them, Andersen, Infinity Rail

Queen transform: Marian, Old Tales, Counter, Goddess

Some reasoning, heretics are getting upgraded so we need more to fight.

Annihillio is basically bullet and long range squad with precision weapon fighting it make sense

Altruia is discounted Rapunzel+ Noah and we will need Aegis to break the shield. And others tanker to tank

Egovista is discounted Scarlet and more about martial art. So melee squad fighting her feel fit.

Doro + Nayuta: they are about to be cured by Rapunzel and need many heavy hitter to constraints them. Especially Corrupted Doro is unlikely to pull her punches and probably won't be fighting elegantly anymore. She was probably the third strongest nikke in her time after Lilith and Cindy. So she is likely also be a boss to fight for union raid and solo raid. And Andersen is probably helping out

Heretic transform can be matched by 4 beast transform.

Queen fight is when whomever left fights and where most of the people "die" or knock out.

Queen probably has a transform after losing. Notice that I used Pioneer before but this time it is Goddess because Doro is back and backstab the Queen so she is forced to transform from losing.

Her transformation is when Marian and Cindy transform fight and all the Goddess. Andersen is likely unavailable after the queen transform

Counter appears multiple times because we are the main characters. Marian is also considered in Counter for me.

Why Infinity Rail is in this. It is time for the queen to get railed. They didn't make the event and not use the train. Probably end game portal moments for Andersen and others to arrive

After the fight, Doro probably dies too. Because Shift Up can't allow her to be happy.

Well… I hope her Heretic form looks cool at least but please don’t make her do something terrible 😭

I’m trying to catch up to the Story for the 4th anniversary so i have 1-2 weeks left. Could anyone tell me the most important events to read. I’m reading in release order and i’m on chapter 43 so i’ve read everything before that.

My Plan was to read the remaining Main Chapters (43-48), Side Stories (Pretty Star, Gingerbread House) and the 3.5 Anniversary.

Do you think i can read stuff like Enter Heaven, Ark Ranger and Project Matis after the Anniversary or are these directly tied to it since i’ve seen some of the characters on the Anniversary Artwork

My team for context. I use Helm's burst to heal through the first poison spray, but after that the boss kills my almost all of my units after and I don't know what causes it. My damage isn't a problem, I'm just not sure what is killing my units after the first poison spray.

RIP to Oswalds goddes of victory can't wait for the full design to be revealed

Dorothy as a Heretic?! Ain't no way someone's not gonna die from this.

We're cooked! She is a Grimms Model No.2 with Eden Technology and now upgraded with Rapture Parts?!

A Nikke who one shot Annihilio, makes a Rapture Queen Bled with one shot when Lilith can tank bullets without a scratch and the SECOND Grimms Model.

I'm not sure if anyone has mention this or not but I thought everyone should know just incase. Today while watch OtakuDaiKun's newest Nikke lore video, I was reminded something related to Ultra Massive Core. 

Spoiler Alert for anyone who has not reach chapter 46, 47, 48 and/or have not played the "Footsteps, Walk, Run" Event. If you do not want to be spoiler leave now.

In chapter 46, Mirror was talking to Nayuta privately and she says this "The Ark and the Lift each hold one of the twin cores. The moment either is destroyed, mutal destruction follows. And in close proximity to one another, the resulting resonance would destroy them both."

and at the end of chapter 48 the Queen (Bitch) transform the Lift into the statue of the Goddess of Victory and it is slowly advancing towards the Ark. 

Enikk also says they can raise the Ark to the surface in either three days if they expedite the process or by doing thorough preparations two weeks. (Anderson choose the latter)

We can't destroy the Lift as that may lead to the destruction of the core inside there and we can't let it get too close to the Ark as that may lead to both cores being destroyed from being either each other. And if the Ark is not up to the surface by the time the Lift reach it, both cores will be destroyed and the Ark will be trapped underground and vulnerable.

This means we need to stall/stop the Lift from reach the Ark or kill the Queen (Bitch) and hope by killing her that it will lead to the Lift stopping. If the Ark manage to reach the surface before the Lift arrives then destroying the Lift will be fine as while the Ark will end up losing it power source as a result of the cores being destroyed, at least they are now on the surface and not trap underground and can look for a new power source.

I honestly can't wait to see what happens! Also this my first posting something like this so sorry if it is a mess. I would also like to know what you guys think about all this.

"You know, Girls. I've been thinking."

I exclaim, sitting in a chair in the main room.

"Oh yeah? What about, Shoten?" Rapi pipes up.
"Don't hurt yourself, Mister. I know how that tends to give you a headache." Anis sarcastically chimes in.
"Now now, let's hear him out. Master, what's been on your mind?" Neon says, chiding Anis in the process.

"You know, just the journey to how we all to where we are. It's been a long journey for all four of us. We've all been to hell and back."

"Hmm...where'd this all come from?" Rapi asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

"I dunno. I had a call earlier with another Commander. just gave me a reminder that we should always strive to grow, and be better. And I find that in each of you all as well."

I hold up one finger. "Rapi, your journey to actually be who you want to be, finally embracing your emotions."

I hold up a second finger. "Anis, you being able to exorcise your doubt and finally shine and move forward with your life."

I hold up a third finger. "And Neon, surviving everything in the Outer Rim and becoming fully healthy."

"And you, Commander." Anis chimed in. "For not only getting stronger, but also believing in us. And damn near every Nikke. Treating us like people instead of weapons."

"Commander or not, he would've never been like that. You guys know that by now, right?" Neon exclaimed, grinning.

I close my eyes, leaning my head back in the chair.

"I wouldn't be the man that I am without you three. You all-"

"Shoten, please...do me a favor."
"Yeah, Rapi?"
"MISTER, SPIN THE DAMN SPINNER. MY LEGS ARE DYING HERE."

I sit back up, realizing that in my daydreams about how far we've come...we were playing a game of Twister.

"Whoops. My bad, Anis." I said sheepishly.
"You're trying to make it so Rapi wins, aren't you?"
"Anis, you're clearly in the better position right now, why are you complaining."
"Also, Master, why are we in Bunny Suits?"
"Because Shoten has a fet-"

"Alright, alright, let's start over from the beginning. And let's sweeten the deal a bit. Winner get...one favor, from yours truly."

All three of their eyes light up, as the new game begins. Turns out, they all fall at the same time. Whether it was intentional or not, you'd have to ask them. Either way, a great night was had. Loud, too.

When I first saw Dorothy, I thought she'd be like what Siren is. And when I saw Siren, I thought she'd be like what Dorothy is. Personality-wise and whatnot. Am I the only one who assumed this at first?

Imagine if that were the case. Dorothy with Sirens Personality and Siren with Dorothy's personality...

Actually, never mind. I prefer this current timeline. Lol

They're so far away like Grave aren't they gonna die? 😭

Chime and Marian are close so none of them are gonna die.

I need her wedding dress in the game ASAP! 😤

i'm on an ill-advised crusade to catch up without using story mode before anniversary (lol). against all odds i beat ziz, beat her AGAIN in the evil of chapter 41, and now i find myself at 42-44. people have beat this boss at cp around and lower than mine, but i'm stumped on getting past beast of the sea. perhaps i need to get some really lucky elemental OL lines on snow white? i kind of think i know the answers to my own questions, but crowd sourcing advice can't hurt!

Basically all the infrastructure of the Ark is fucked

They just detonated the elevators and dome, right after giving Rapi her RRH elegant riding up the elevator with the ark sprawling below her loading screen lmao

Shits going up to the surface

How do we justify events like happening simultaneously with “commander is also participating in existential apocalyptic war” lmfao
